Wondering if anyone else is running into problems with notes and highlighting features. I can't highlight or edit existing highlights in Bible text.

I've also been a user of the Notes feature for years. The formatting is wacky. Can't cut and paste text within existing notes. The cursor won't land where I click... and sometimes it is blinking on the line below where I'm typing.

Notes needed an overhaul... I guess... but I really wish they had fixed all these major bugs before launching. Makes it pretty unusable for teaching when I can't add to/change/or correct text and formatting issues caused by the update.

I believe the issue with notes not being editable is unique to certain formatting that is present. Copying/pasting it removed that bad formatting which is what let you then edit it in the new note. I will have the team look into this and fix it.

The highlighting issue is new to me and I will be sure we track that one down. Again, your video shows me perfectly what you were describing so I appreciate that.

The problem is that you are using Logos Notes for giving presentations. Bob considers that a "novel idea" (he told me so on the forums back around L4 or L5 when I talked about how I use Notes). You should want to go through the tedious step of exporting dozens upon dozens of Bible verses to a presentation program like PowerPoint or, better yet, Proclaim. Please adjust your usage accordingly.

On the other hand, perhaps you might consider using L3. It allows those watching your presentation to see all of your notes with ease. This thread shows some of the abilities that L3 has as a presentation tool. An advantage is that all of your students might ask you where you can get such a nifty program. Enjoy!

It's not all that different. He's attempting to use Logos for presentations and that, though an eminently logical step to take, is not something which FL gives any legitimate consideration. The fact that the note menu bar scales up and down when the note font size is adjusted makes that point about as succinctly yet inelegantly as is possible. I've never seen anything so preposterous, but it's what you might expect to happen if HOW THE NOTES PRESENT ON THE SCREEN is not a consideration.

Greg, thanks for the great videos, and for your patience as we iron out some of these kinks. I've filed a bug for fixing panel zoom in notes tool. I agree this is a poor experience now. We're also aware of the reference linking bug, and are working on a fix. The SR-1 release this week included fixes for some of the bugs you reported previously, which I hope has improved things for you a little in the meantime.

Does anyone know if it is possible to go back and re-load version 7? If so... will I be able to have the old notes platform... or did they change the platform on v.7 too?

You can still use the old notes system in Logos 8. Type set prefer notes tool to no into the Go Box to reactivate it. You can switch back by typing set prefer notes tool to yes. Consider making these commands shortcuts by dragging the command from the autocomplete dropdown in the Go Box to the shortcuts area. That'll make switching between the two systems quick and easy.
